Clio 172
Hello I own a 2.0 clio sport 51 plate around 2-3 months ago the head gasket went so I got that replaced and did the timing belt and water pump at the same time not a bad way to spend £750, everything was running great then all of sudden the water starts going from the header tank so after weeks and weeks of taking the car back to wear the head was done the guy tells me airline fracture in the block, so to cut a long story short I thought bulls*** got it preassure tested nothing then all of a sudden the tank spurts the water out it held the preassure so i replaced the header cap and boom fixed!! Thank God for that. Fine for like a month. So I take the car on a good run 300 miles temp stays under halfway until I'm nearly home it's over heating water gone bubbles in the tank boiling hot water? Thermstat gone??
Anyway my main concern is that it's not starting right at all it really struggles to turn over it's okay when warm but it nearly cuts out when turning over it's almost like something is'nt cirulating propley?? I'm not a mechanic but I know when my car isn't running right and doesn't sound right, it sounds like the tappits might of gone too anyone had this? I love this car so much I wanna keep it but it's put me in 5k debt with the orignal loan I got to buy it and the MOT and TAX were due when the gasket blew so that's why, all of this has started since the head gasket, I'm scared to drive the car incase it dies, it's worrying me sick I just want it fixed, fit my new full system and get cruising again, these cars are built to be given boot I miss doing that...
